Estimate and Place Value

10. Make a tens and ones place value worksheet, with two wide columns, one for tens and one for ones. Next, place fifteen jelly beans for your child to count out and group into a tens and ones column. Discuss how to separate the groups and write the number on an additional sheet of paper, too. Then start again with another tens/ones combination number, like eighteen, eleven, etc. You can move into the twenties, and so forth if your child is ready, and have 2 groups of ten, etc.
